The Biddulph Grange Garden, located in Biddulph, Staffordshire, England, is a Victorian garden created by James Bateman in the 1840s. Bateman was an avid collector of plants from around the world.

In addition to the international gardens, there are beautiful rose gardens, a topiary garden with rocks and tunnels that children absolutely love, a cherry orchard, and gardens with rhododendrons and azaleas which are simply spectacular in the spring.
The gardens are open daily from 11:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Admission for adults is 7.35 Britsih pounds. Admission for chldren is 3.70 British pounds.
It's absolutely amazing how gardens can be so versatile. I truly enjoy mixing up the different types of foliage and sizes of plants in my garden. It's nice to see the contrast between formal and informal gardens too.
ReplyDeleteYes. This praticular garden has a lot of contrasts. I love the Japanese garden!
Deletewhat a cool idea to make the shapes cut into the grass areas--and tunnels, what kid wouldn't love this!
ReplyDeleteI think even the adults enjoy all the tunnels!
